This vibrant proposal for the Kimball Art Center renovation comes from Phoenix-based Will Bruder + Partners. In their submission, the architects offer up a design that is both colorful and translucent. Bruder proposes to tie in the renovation of the historic Kimball Garage with a bright and shiny new exhibition space banded by a series of black and colored vertical strips. The center is topped with a new green roof and outdoor plaza along with vertical axis wind turbines and a photovoltaic system. Initial inspiration came from some of the original mining buildings in Park City, but the end result is very urban and hip, with art, sculptural and architectural influences.
